As a registered nurse

[markodochartaigh]

I'm all for euthanasia. I have seen people dying in pain and how stressful that is for the patient and the family. The only reasons to keep someone alive through a tortuous end of life are a religious belief imposed by people who don't have to suffer the torture, a vain hope for a miraculous recovery, and the lucrative extraction of profit by the "health" care industry, 20% of which goes to administration and 20% of which goes to insurance companies.
